I didnt sell them the house I just fixed their problem. The house was a couple hundred K upside down and would have cost them more than they could afford out of pocket each month to carry the short fall they would get from rent. They also were not set up to be landlords from another country. By the time they get back their credit will be fine and he’ll be able to work in the private sector for real money. Yes they made bad decisions buying the place. We all make bad decisions from time to time. Had he taken on a mountain of student loans he would have been able to deal with those bad decisions.
